Green Room

What do illegal aliens really want? That burning question was one of several explored at a meeting in Washington on December 15 at the headquarters of the U.S. Department of Education. The confab, titled “Student Voices,” was presided over by Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis. Attendees included “DREAMers,” aka illegal aliens who have lived in the United States from a very young age.

[A]ccording to the Department of Labor’s website, Duncan told the illegal aliens about the administration’s ‘efforts to assist students who are undocumented’ through the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act—the DREAM Act. Solis also spoke to the illegal aliens about the DREAM Act.

Any person who … knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building …shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).

The penalty is a fine under Title 18, imprisonment for no more than 5 years, or both. If any of the immigrants present at the meeting were to go on to engage in an action that resulted in the death of another person, Duncan and Solis could face a life sentence.

CNSNews.com writer Terrence Jeffrey reports having contacted the press office of the Department of Education with questions about the meeting, including:

How many undocumented aliens came to the meeting?

Did they go through any security checks? How were they positively identified if they did not have legal documents attesting accurately to who they were?

What countries were they from?

Has Secretary Duncan (Solis) had any other meetings with illegal aliens at the Department of Education, or was this the first?

So far, Jeffrey wrote on January 6, his questions have not been answered.

Lawsuit.

Since Barack Liar Obama does not want to enforce the law, it seems we have to make the courts do it for him.

I want this at the Supreme Court, and I want that fat blubbering Kagan and “Wise Latina” Sotomayer to make utter fools out of themselves as they try to spin for their idiot and make it clear that they believe the President can break the law at will.

Somehow I feel Jeffrey will wait a long long time to get an answer to his questions from any person from the bho team! The whole blooming lot don’t seem to give a flit if they break the law or our constitutions! These people just want illegal aliens to be here, get amnesty(however way bho can do this, eo or what), and get acorn to sign these illegal aliens up to vote for bho?

After seeing how difficult it is for the current administration to adhere to or enforce current federal law, it gives me no small wonder as to how the federal government finds the cajones to invent new ones.

If the government has no desire to follow the law, should we the people do so as well? I’m no fan of anarchy, so I strongly believe some justice is in order. To neglect to do so, is a gross violation of the principles on which this country was founded!

The bottom line is that Mexican citizens are more likely to vote Democrat than American citizens. Democrats like Jerry Brown and Barack Obama will adopt whatever immigration policies it takes to score those votes to win the next couple of elections even if it eventually turns the US into Mexico’s Lebensraum.
